Thanks for the response. Yes, there is a very strong history of all of the above. I've always had allergy problems, but the last 4 to 5 years its has gotten worse. The itching never goes away unless I take an antihistamine. I am really sensitive to medications in general; having to take something every day really wipes me out. With 4 kids this is hard. I have always gone the natural route with everything, so this kind of scares me. What will long term, daily use of this med do to my body and will I gradually need more as time goes on. Is there another way?
Hi
Hypersensitivity reactions which manifest as hives or urticaria are chronic and recurrent. I do understand your concern but this condition may be controlled through oral antihistamines or avoiding all possible triggers. As for all types of allergic reactions, the triggers will not always be identified.
For how long have you been experiencing the symptoms?
Is there a strong history of allergies, asthma or allergic rhinitis in the family?
